Description: Herb Lemon Balm (also known as Melissa Officinalis) is native to southern Europe and has been naturalized to much of North America. This popular perennial herb is a member of the mint family. This herb grows 10-24 inches tall and offers numerous benefits for your customer. Lemon Balm flourishes in average, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It attracts honeybees and its leaves have a strong, fresh fragrance. While it is typically planted in herb gardens or along borders, it can also be used as ground cover. Use this herb in cooking and making tea; it is often recommended for use in flavoring ice cream, making Lemon Balm Pesto, adding to salads, and garnishing soup, chicken, pork, and egg dishes. Lemon Balm also has homeopathic healing applications as a soothing tea for anxiety and depression and for its anti-viral and antihistamine properties. Its white, pale yellow, or pink flowers bloom June-August.
